Find surveys available in PIP drive — pip_find

This function was deprecated because DLW data will loaded directly from a flat folder structure which allows bypassing the use of datalibweb in Stata, making the pipdp Stata package useless.From now on, use the dlw functions: pip_load_dlw_inventory, pip_find_dlw, and pip_load_dlw.

Usage

pip_find_data(
  country = NULL,
  year = NULL,
  survey_acronym = NULL,
  vermast = NULL,
  veralt = NULL,
  module = NULL,
  tool = NULL,
  condition = NULL,
  source = NULL,
  root_dir = Sys.getenv("PIP_ROOT_DIR"),
  maindir = pip_create_globals(root_dir)$PIP_DATA_DIR,
  inv_file = fs::path(maindir, "_inventory/inventory.fst"),
  filter_to_pc = FALSE,
  filter_to_tb = FALSE,
  verbose = getOption("pipload.verbose")
)

Arguments

country: character: vector of ISO3 country codes.
year: numeric: survey year
survey_acronym: character: Survey acronym
vermast: character: Master version in the form v## or ##
veralt: character: Alternative version in the form v## or ##
module: character: combination of tool and source separated by a hyphen (e.g., PC-GPWG)
tool: character: PIP tool in which data will be used. It could be PC for Poverty Calculator or TB for Table Maker. Others will be added
condition: character: logical condition that applies to all surveys. For example, "year > 2012". Make sure the condition uses the names of the variables in pip_load_inventory(): orig, filename, country_code, year, survey_acronym, vermast, veralt, collection, module, tool, and source. Can't be used with arguments country, year, survey_acronym , vermast, veralt, module or tool.
source: character: Source of data. It could be GPWG, HIST, GROUP, synth, BIN, and ALL. The latter is used only in Table Maker.
root_dir: character: root directory of the PIP data
maindir: character: Main directory
inv_file: character: file path to be loaded.
filter_to_pc: logical: If TRUE filter most recent data to be included in the Poverty Calculator. Default if FALSE
filter_to_tb: logical: If TRUE filter most recent data to be included in the Table Maker. Default if FALSE
verbose: logical: whether to display message. Default is TRUE

Value

data.frame: list of filenames to be loaded with pcn_load()
